Lord, please, yes!

And if you'd like a co-maintainer, obviously I've been quite enthusiastic about the whole librarification thing for quite some time...

I agree.

Happy to help out as well.

Should I just add you and Jason directly as 'M:' entries for this?

Sure.

Listing Ard and Jason as M: is fine with me. I expect that in practice I'll be applying the patches and doing the pull requests for now, so (as is often the case with subsystems with multiple M:) in practice it will really be a primary maintainer and backup maintainer(s). But I'm happy to have Ard and Jason listed in case one of them needs to step in.
